You’ll want to thoroughly wash the peppers once you remove the seeds and ribs. If you decide to keep the ribs inside, they’ll give your jalapeño appetizers a nice little spicy kick. I removed them to keep them mild.

Fill them with plain cream cheese, or you can get creative and add flavored option. I’ve seen a few options with chopped bacon instead of bacon wrapped. The best part about these fun party sides, you can adjust the ingredients for your personal preference.

After you wrap the bacon, you want to place them into the preheated 400 degree oven for 25-35 mins. You can leave them in a bit longer if you want an extra crispy bacon layer. I love that these have just enough crisp, not too crunchy.

This is my new favorite go-to appetizer when we are expecting family and friends. I absolutely love the flavor and bacon wrapped peppers. 🤤 A few main entrees that can be paired nicely with the jalapeno poppers are beef sliders, chicken, turkey wraps, and steak kabobs.
